FBI’s Wray to Congress: ‘Absolutely not’ protecting Biden family from bribery allegations
‘Rep. Gaetz grills bureau chief over revelations in IRS’ tax fraud investigation into Hunter Biden’
FBI Director Christopher A. Wray told lawmakers on the House Judiciary Committee that the bureau is not shielding the Biden family from bribery allegations.
In his testimony, Mr. Wray was asked about a text message in which President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, threatened a Chinese businessman, adding he was “with my father.”
Rep. Matt Gaetz, Florida Republican, scolded Mr. Wray for the lack of investigative follow-up by agents after the text message was uncovered by investigators working the tax fraud investigation into Hunter Biden.
When asked if the text message amounted to “a shakedown,” Mr. Wray said he could not comment.
“You seem deeply uncurious, don’t you? Almost suspiciously uncurious. Are you protecting the Bidens?” Mr. Gaetz asked.
“Absolutely not,” Mr. Wray said before he was cut off by the lawmaker.
